Diary of an NQT: Progress, parents and behaviour

Our NQT diarist faces the January double-header of a pupil progress check and parents’ evening, but her focus remains on tackling some behavioural issues too.

Having had a great break, I am straight back into routine with progress checks and parents’ evening due within the first week. I am feeling refreshed and rested from the break and most definitely a few pounds heavier.

I have marked year 11 mocks over the break and spent some time writing up my NQT folder of evidence. But equally, I tried to detach myself from work for several days to feel as if I have had a break from it. 

My friends and family have been so keen to hear of my tales from my first teaching term and it has been lovely to spend some time reflecting on my experiences and to feel satisfied that there have been some successes along the way.
